Flinders Island

Flinders Island is the main island of the Furneaux group, a collection of 52 islands that stretch across Bass Strait between Tasmania and mainland Australia. These remarkable “mountains in the sea” offer you a wild, natural and friendly holiday experience.

Home to the Strzelecki national park, here you can escape to an inspiring world of sparkling beaches, rugged ranges, abundant wildlife and flora, and clear sapphire waters. With a pleasant climate throughout the year and activities from boating, climbing, fishing and golf, to exploring our history and culture, Flinders Island has a lot to offer.
